Please take up Jabob's offer above.

I don't want to be overly critical and I wish you the best of luck in your search but your website/resume is not helping you. Whether it's the 1998 Geocities UI/look & feel (hard to read) or the obvious spelling errors (Bacherlor's Degree), you are not putting your best foot forward. It is difficult for someone to determine where your experience is and what type of IT job you are looking for.

Suggestion: Revise your resume and have 3-4 people in the industry review/critique it honestly. Keep refining until you have something that is generating more interest.

Put yourself in a hiring person's shoes. You need to fill a position and are looking through a few dozen applications / resumes. You have 5-20 seconds to attract their interest. What changes do you need to make to engage that person and make them want to reach out for further discussion? Good luck - these changes are not hard and you can do it!


Totally agree. I just posted above my first impression was exactly 1998 Geocities.

That is probably priming the hiring manager to look for things on the CV they feel would also be outdated and then they are on to the next person.

I would honestly say no website would be better than this current version.


Would also like one if you have an extra. Thx in advance. (Click on username to see my email in profile)

Wanted a non-Google way of easily embedding iCal calendars into a website. I needed to embed a TeamSnap calendar on my kid's sports team Squarespace page.

Cost to me: ~$10/mo (piggy backing off of my real job's servers)

Revenue: 2 customers - god bless 'em ($24/yr)


Just putting this in here. If you are suffering from insomnia, one possible alternative is to look into CBTI (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia). Its one of the only clinically proven non-drug-related treatments for insomnia. If you are struggling, google it and try to find a CBTI counselor to help. Don't try it on your own - its quite challenging. It literally saved my life a few years ago.
